Celestia and Luna arrived in Ponyville, knowing that once again, they arrived too late, but the Alicorns took precaution in stopping at a certain place in time to get a familiar box that Celestia was levitating behind her. The Princesses arrived at the library as the nurses were helping the ponies who were knocked out by General Shield Strike recover.

“I presume we are too late once again…” Celestia sighed grimly to Twilight.

“Yeah, those jerks had done another attack! They tricked Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon into causing a forest fire, distracting most of us, so the Red Devil and his soldiers would kidnap the Cutie Mark Crusaders!” Rainbow explained. “And have Gilda attack me.” Fluttershy shuttered in fright.

“Ponyville wasn’t the only place under attack! Canterlot was attacked as well.” Luna said grimly. “Loki kept us from coming here sooner with his Diamond Dogs.”

“Great…What does he want to gain with kidnapping three fillies?” Shining Armor groaned.

“Ain’t it obvious?” Applejack asked. “He wants us to rescue them and to put us in a trap! Come on, I’ve seen movies like this before.”

“But what other choice do we have? Loki will hurt the Cutie Mark Crusaders just like he killed Dinky...and made Thor go away.” Twilight questioned sadly. “It isn’t your fault, Twily.” Shining Armor reassured as he patted his sister on the back. “We’ll go rescue them and defeat Loki, bringing him to justice.”

“But how? We don’t know where he is!” Pinkie exclaimed to Shining Armor.

“I know…” Luna said. “Loki is in the ruins where the Elements of Harmony are stored in the Everfree Forest where you turned me back to normal.”

“How do you know this, sister?” Celestia asked in curiosity.

“Yesterday, I sensed he was hidden there with his army. I believe he set up a magic barrier around the ruins to prevent it from burning down during the forest fire.”

The ponies nodded in concern since they knew the place that she was talking about. Rainbow paused and went over to a bookshelf while remarking, “Gotta get my Daring Do book.”

“How can ya go get your Darin’ Do book when Scootaloo and her friends are possibly in danger now?” Applejack demanded to Rainbow in annoyance.

“Hey, time waits for nopony…or Daring Do books!”

Applejack sighed in annoyance as Rainbow grabbed her book and noticed a message on the wall written in blood.

‘Attention, foolish ponies!

As you are aware by now, my army has captured your foals. If you wish for their safety, bring the Elements of Harmony to the ruins where the Elements were once held in the Everfree Forest before sun rise. Failure is not an option. You will all fall before me! Kneel before your future king!

-Loki’

“Ugh...HE was here?” Rainbow groaned in disgust before she turned to the other ponies who stared at her in confusion. “Uh, what?”

“You mean to tell us…that Loki was in this library and vandalized the back of the inside of one of my shelves by writing a threatening message…and nopony bothered to tell me?” Twilight asked Rainbow with a shocked expression, twitching her eyes in fury.

“Why do you ask?”

Twilight growled furiously and got in Rainbow’s face, causing her friend to yelp.

“YOU IDIOT! JUST BECAUSE NOPONY TOLD ME BEFORE, THOR’S NOW GONE, THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS AND THE SPIKE CLONE HAVE BEEN CAPTURED, AND ALL OF EQUESTRIA IS IN DANGER!” Twilight screamed in fury. “Twilight, Twilight! Easy!” Fluttershy exclaimed with a worried expression.

“I know this looks bad, but calm down!” Pinkie yelled in horror. For a moment, it doesn’t look like there’s nothing to calm Twilight down…until Celestia put her hoof on her shoulder, making the lavender unicorn turn towards her.

“I know you’re upset, Twilight, but will hurting one of your best friends make anything better?” Celestia asked calmly. Twilight hesitated, then sadly calmed down. “You’re right, Rainbow. I’m sorry…it’s just…our new friendship with Thor broke up…and all of Equestria is being victims of a monster who is his adoptive brother! I don’t know what to do.” Twilight sighed sadly.

“It’s ok, Twilight. We’ll fix this somehow.”

“We just need to stop Loki, but that depends on getting to the ruins.” Shining Armor said grimly. “Wait…I think I know…Rainbow’s security cameras.” Twilight gasped as she levitated a monitor that was nearby close to her.

“What now?” Applejack asked in confusion. Rainbow facehoofed herself, knowing she forgot to tell her friends about the cameras.

“Her security cameras, she planted them all over Equestria. I saw something a little while ago before the Crystal Empire incident. Maybe…”

Twilight levitated the remote and began flipping through the channels, Rainbow backing away nervously. One of the channels showed Fluttershy’s bedroom as Angel is seen jumping up and down on the bed.

“Hey, that looks like my bedroom; the fire didn’t damage my cottage!” Fluttershy gasped in relief. Twilight switched the channel, showing Pinkie’s room in Sugercube Corner. It showed that her TV was on. Rarity, who was recovering still, asked, “Wait, you left your TV on?”

“Well, duh! That way I won’t miss my favorite shows, silly!” Pinkie giggled. Twilight switched the channel again, showing Carousel Boutique. Rarity’s cat, Opalescence is seen playing with a ball of yarn; nothing interesting was happening.

Rarity glared at Rainbow and demanded, “Rainbow Dash, why have you set up security cameras in our homes?”

“Uh…in case of thieves.” Rainbow laughed nervously. “I mean, it’s not like I’m using them to spy on you all or see what the Wonderbolts do before they go to bed.”

“In fact, look! There’s a camera in Soarin’s bathroom right now!” Pinkie exclaimed as one of the channels show Soarin’ flexing in front of a mirror, the Pegasus unaware of the camera watching his or his team’s every moves right now.

Twilight switched the channel; it showed an image of the group looking at the monitor. They turned and saw one of the security cameras nearby, much to their surprise. “How long has this been there?” Twilight asked Rainbow who chuckled nervously.

The lavender unicorn continued flipping channels, showing Sugercube Corner, the Wonderbolts Academy, Rainbow’s cloud home near Ponyville, and the throne room in Canterlot.

“Ah, there’s the throne room which Rainbow booby-trapped it to drop a sugar bomb every time.” Twilight mused. “Oh yes, I was wondering about that.” Celestia grumbled, glaring at Rainbow who smiled sheepishly.

Twilight switched the channels some more until she found one for the ruin’s main area.

“There it is! Nothing much to say!”

“I can grab the map to track the coordinates just in case we don’t remember where it is.” Rainbow said as she rummaged through one of the cubby holes on the wall.

“Well, hurry, please!” Luna insisted, watching Rainbow continue. This goes on for a few seconds or so. The group noticed a meeting happening. “What are they talking about now?” Fluttershy asked in curiosity.

Of course, Discord appeared in front of the camera while remarking, “Spying on us, are you? Naughty, naughty.” The evil Draconequus then punched the screen, causing it to go static. It’s obvious that Discord had destroyed the camera.

“Well, so much for that…” Shining Armor sighed. “Rainbow?”

“Luckily, I tracked the footage before Discord destroyed the camera. I found the map.” Rainbow explained. She pulled out a piece of parchment with a map drawn on it. “It’s not needed, Rainbow.” Celestia told her.

“Ok.” Rainbow shrugged. She put the map back. “Good, then it’s time we show those creeps what they deserve!” Applejack exclaimed with a determined expression.

“Not without a plan!” Twilight insisted. “We need the Elements before we rush in.”

“I knew you were going to say that.” Luna chuckled while Celestia levitated a familiar case over to Twilight. “We knew the Elements would be needed, so we stopped by the vault before coming here.”

“Good, we’ve got a chance!”

“Go forth, ponies. The fate of Equestria is in your hooves now.” Celestia said before turning to Rainbow. “And when you and your friends get back, Rainbow Dash, I’ll have a word with you on spying on ponies and booby-trapping the throne room.”

“Busted!” Pinkie laughed as Rainbow chuckled nervously.

At this moment, the scene then showed what is happening with Spike (the real one) and a not so corporative Thor. As they reached a certain hill top, they took a moment to gaze from it in seeing just where they were at this time. The duo was by the borders from far to the west of Equestria which lay cliffs and waterfalls on the mountain ranges. Straight ahead from the group was a city with shining buildings made out of gold with a castle gleaming in the center of the city. This was the place Celestia was talking about, the place where she instructed Spike to take Thor to what was known as: Ponyheim.

“Unbelievable!” Spike gasped in amazement, taking in his surroundings. “It is nothing much, but it is my home…” Thor grumbled in a non-caring attitude.

“So, this is Ponyheim? Twilight has read about it to me, but this is my first time witnessing it.” Spike explained happily. “Come on, let’s get going!”

The baby dragon gestured for Thor to come along, knowing where they were going next. With that, the two were jumping (Thor just flew above it) down a nice slop before touching the ground. Right now, all Thor hoped was that this trip would be over…and to be left alone with his emotions still scarred as he landed behind Spike.

“Hey, Thor, quit lagging behind! We gotta get moving!” Spike called out as he noticed that Thor was dragging his hooves.

“Humph! Like you want to return home to come and see this…” Thor grumbled, looking away. “Come on, Thor! I’m just concerned of going to this place as you are!” Spike protested with a worried expression.

“Look, will you shut it and stop being kind to me?!” Thor shouted. “I was only concerned of you, Thor.” Spike sighed sadly.

“Well, here’s a fact: my brother and I were close as colts until I found out he was an Ice Pony!” Thor snapped angrily. “Now he does not love me!”

“Ok, I may not know what’s going on in that head of yours, but you take back what you said about me and my friends!” Spike yelled.

“Why do you not make me?!” Thor retorted angrily. “Hey, cut it out! Look, everything in your life and my friends’ lives were fine and happy before Loki came into the picture and now look! Our friendship has broken up! The only thing to trust now is Princess Celestia. She can stop Loki’s reign for good before his evil brings even more chaos to Equestria than we already have.” Spike explained while he looked at Thor as they walked some more.

“Humph!” Thor scoffed. “Yes, she did a marvelous job from the times with Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, and Discord. When the three villains returned, she did nothing, but leave her student to fix the problem! And you must not forget the time when she was beaten by a Changeling when Queen Chrysalis tricked her into thinking she was the Crystal Princess!”

“Princess Celestia will stop him, Thor!” Spike countered nervously. “Your brother is an evil—“

“SHUT IT, YOU HORRIBLE CREATURE!!!” Thor snapped. “Ugh, how much longer until we reach the city?” Spike groaned in hearing Thor’s insult until…”Oh, we’re here!”

Just like that, the duo had reached the city and began walking in.

“Now, stay with me and don’t do anything rash, ok?” Spike asked. “Who would do something that ridiculous in the city leading to my home?” Thor grumbled.

“Uh-oh! Enemies at 12:00!” Spike exclaimed, pointing to two figures flying towards them.

Suddenly, when they landed, one of the figures, a sea green alicorn mare, levitated Spike up to her face. “YOU DARE TRASPASS INTO THE KINGDOM OF PONYHEIM!?” She demanded angrily. “THOR, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!” Spike screamed, but Thor winced in disgust.

“Alright, dear. You may let him go now.” The second figure, a white alicorn stallion who was supposedly her husband, commanded. The first alicorn levitated Spike back on the ground in surprise while sighing.

“Oh! I apologize; it’s just that I’ve never seen a dragon before! I did not mean to frighten you.” The alicorn mare named Frigga giggled nervously.

“Yes, but unlike his brethren, he acts different…He is known for being friends with ponies than other dragons. Princess Celestia spoke that he was coming.” The alicorn stallion named Odin mused. “I understand, daring.” Frigga nodded with a smile. “And yet again, I am sorry, young dragon.”

“It’s fine…” Spike stated with a blank expression. “Greetings, young dragon. I am Odin, ruler of Ponyheim.” The second alicorn greeted. “And you already know Frigga, my wife and co-ruler of Ponyheim.”

“We have been introduced!” Frigga exclaimed happily. “And you are?” Odin asked Spike.

“Forgive me, your highnesses.” Spike said, bowing before Odin and Frigga. “I’m Spike, Princess Celestia’s student’s assistant.”

“My, it appears that you are one special dragon to befriend ponies and all…” Frigga mused.

“Thanks!” Spike grinned. “We know much about how you and the Elements of Harmony have saved Equestria on multiple occasions.” Odin nodded in amusement. “Even we have heard how you retrieved the Crystal Heart to save an entire empire while Princess Celestia’s student was caught in King Sombra’s trap.” Frigga added with a kind expression.

“Indeed, I, for one, never expected a young dragon such as yourself to save the Crystal Empire. You must be very brave to do such an action.” Odin complimented honestly. “Um…thanks, it was nothing.” Spike said with a sheepish expression while he scratched the back of his head.

“Humph! What a waste of time! We have come all this way here and you are all discussing not seeing that I am standing right here!” Thor complained in annoyance. “What kind of parents are you?!”

“Come on! They’re just being friendly with us!” Spike protested before he turned back to Odin and Frigga. “Oops! We just got carried away there! Anyways, I came to bring your son here for his protection.”

“A noble deed on Princess Celestia’s half…” Odin nodded. “Noble? NOBLE?!” Thor repeated angrily. “What is so NOBLE that you never told me that my brother is a monster and that he never loved me!”

“You are not wise to talk to your father that way, young stallion! I’m your mother and you should listen to your father and I!” Frigga scolded her son sternly.

“I believe he understands, darling.” Odin interrupted, holding his hoof up so his wife doesn’t go too harsh on Thor while she sighed again. “My apologizes, Thor. We are just so glad you’re safe from Loki now.” Frigga sighed as she and Odin hugged their son.

“I knew this day was going to come when the word of Loki’s true parentage would reach our real son.” Odin sighed, breaking the hug. “If you have something to say, I shall hear about it.”

“Fine! We can get to somewhere!” Thor groaned rudely. “Why I was neither told about my brother’s true parentage, but from a notebook that Twilight Sparkle owned and a story from the Princesses! About what TRULY happened during the Ice Pony War! What happened to my brother’s real father!”

“We were meaning to tell you, but Loki had beat you to the throne room and found out first.” Odin explained. “What happened? I JUST SAID I KNOW! About how Celestia found my brother abandoned and gave him to you to raise as your own!” Thor snapped.

“Thor, listen! You and Loki have loved each other like brothers as colts!” Spike tried to explain before he looked at the ground in sadness. “It’s the cause of hatred, jealousy, and hunger for power! He killed innocent ponies including…Twilight’s foalhood friend, Dinky.”

“It is true that when my husband told him about his true parentage and lost his temper at him.” Frigga nodded in agreement. “Tell us, Thor. What do you truly believe how the ponies of Equestria to be truly of their nature?” Odin asked his son. “What is that supposed to mean?! I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE! They are lying, deceitful, uncaring--” Thor began, but was cut off by Odin.

“But is that how you truly see them? Or is this how you want them to be seen?” Odin interrupted. “Father, what are you talking about?” Thor asked in confusion.

“Tell me, do you remember how you first met Twilight Sparkle and her friends? Do they firmly fit the description that you are telling us?” Odin asked. “Well, yes.” Thor answered quietly.

“Think hard deeply…remember how they reacted when they saw you. And the picture you shall seek will soon come to you.” Odin explained calmly.

Thor had no idea what his father was thinking about, but he sighed and did as he was told. He recalled how he met the Main Six and Spike while they were having a picnic and they were incredibly friendly and caring towards him. They were getting to know him during the Mayor and Celestia’s warning announcement and introduced him to Shining Armor who was happy to meet him. He then thought about how he saved Twilight’s life when Loki was just about to kill her and her friends complimented on his braveness. After reliving those memories, the angry feeling in Thor’s heart began to fade a little.

“It would seem you are finding the answer that puzzled you, my son.” Odin mused while seeing the new expression Thor was showing. “Who would have thought that they were so kind to me even though we just met?” Thor asked sadly. “But that still does not explain that notebook!”

“Oh brother, not this again!” Spike groaned as he facepalmed himself. “I tried to convince him, but he wouldn’t listen!”

“I see…now tell us, Thor, did you read all of the notes regarding Ponyheim?” Odin asked. “All of it?” Thor repeated in confusion.

“Surely, if Twilight Sparkle and her friends are as bad as you say they are, then you would have been very thorough in searching for the truth.” Frigga nodded. “Um, that is to say…no.” Thor said sheepishly.

“You see, Thor; you jumped to conclusions before understanding everything.” Spike explained with an honest expression, reaching out into his bag to pull out…a familiar notebook. “Here, Twilight let me bring her notebook along, believing you would read something you missed.”

Thor looked a little puzzled as he levitated the notebook towards him and he turned to the same notes about the Ice Ponies, making him groan in disgust. On the next set of notes, there was something that made Thor’s eyes widen in shock.

‘Thor is the Ponyheim god of thunder and son of the rulers, Odin and Frigga. He wields a hammer that controls the weather and summons lightning. Side notes: I think it’s super cool that this Thor pony can control thunder and lightning. He would make one awesome ruler of Ponyheim. If I ever met him, I bet we’ll be like friends and I would tell him how cool he’ll be once he rules his kingdom.’

Soon, the notebook fell to the ground, it made a light impact, but the expression Thor was showing was more stunned and disbelief than he ever was. He dropped to the ground, his hooves shaking uncontrollably.

“Uh-oh, I smell emotional drama coming…” Spike commented.

“It is all my fault…” Thor muttered nervously. “How could have I been so foolish? I insulted my new friends, pushed them away, and even hurt them. I have probably become just another Loki menace to them. I feel like…no pony will accept my apology after what happened!”

“Thor…I’m sorry.” Spike sighed sadly as he placed a claw on Thor’s leg. “Why are you apologizing? I am the one who should be sorry, I took out my anger on everypony, even hurt you.” Thor asked with a sorrowful expression.

“Well, that is true.” Spike said. “But-but then again, maybe some of us should say sorry for what’s happened to you.”

“If only that would matter, I have no friends, my brother hates and wants to kill me, and my friendship with you, Twilight, and her friends has broken up. But what will they do to react when I return to help them?” Thor asked sadly.

“Be patient, my son. Your father will discuss that.” Frigga commanded. “You must make a choice, Thor. You either can leave behind the ponies of Equestria or return to help set things right with Loki even if it means risking forgetting about your actions.” Odin explained. “Do you need time to decide?”

“Yes, give me a moment.” Thor answered. “Of course, your mother and I shall turn around and wait when you have come to terms with yourself.” Odin nodded with an understanding expression.

With that, he and Frigga turned away with their backs facing them. The only one to comfort Thor in his long period of thought was Spike.

“What am I going to do, Spike? Stay home or return to Equestria where I am not wanted?” Thor asked as he stared at his hooves. “Somehow, I am wishing that this is all a nightmare.”

“Tell me about it, but you gotta put your past behind you. Bad things happen and you can’t do anything about them, so the best conclusion is to just forget about it.” Spike advised.

“You…truly believe…that Twilight and her friends will accept me as their friend again?” Thor asked hopefully. “Of course they would! If you say you’re honestly sorry, I’m sure Twilight and her friends can forgive you, Thor!” Spike nodded with a smile.

Thor smiled and nodded in hearing this and liking the sound of this. “Mother, Father!” He called out to the two Alicorns.

“Judging by your expression, I see you have reached your conclusion.” Frigga smiled kindly while she and Odin turned around. “Which choice did you pick that will affect your life at this moment?” Odin asked.

“At first, I did not know which one was right for me, but I have made my decision!” Thor answered. “I am…going back!”
